Thirdly, it is worth noting that it is quoting pharaohs' speech and not God telling us directly or for certain that it was 'small'.

Fourthly, in the Qur'anic version of the story they inherit the people of pharaoh's land, i.e. at least a notable portion of ancient Egypt if not all of it (''see: [[Historical Errors in the Quran#The%20Israelites%20inherit%20Egypt%20as%20well%20as%20Israel/Palestine|Historical Errors in the Quran The Israelites inherit Egypt as well as Israel/Palestine]])'', along with ancient Israel, which would suggest they are of a large relevant size for them to make sense to do so.
